Great app for amateur sky watchers I use M Max A250. This is a great app. Developed for amateur sky watchers. If someone says that it's not working on their phone -it's their phone problem. It works fantastic. Only recommendation is more Indian SANSKRIT name of the stars if included -will be of great help. Great work pals keep it up.

Excellent Appz This is what i was looking for since long period of time. I got what i exactly needed. It also point exact position of planets and helps in finding messier objects through photo finder. It also shows astrological nakshatra and constellations and much more. Thanks to developer....

Stellarium Mobile Sky Map is a fully-featured planetarium for your phone. It shows a realistic and accurate night sky map, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.

The sensor control will also enable you to identify a star in just a few seconds, just by pointing the phone at the sky!

This award-winning astronomy application is finally available on Android featuring:

* a catalog of over 600,000 stars displayed as a real time zoomable sky map* a catalog of many nebulae and galaxies, with pictures for some of them* asterisms and illustrations of the constellations for several sky cultures* artificial satellites, including the International Space Station* realistic Milky Way* realistic landscape and atmosphere with sunrise, sunset and light pollution simulation* accurate simulation of stars extinction, and atmosphere refraction* 3D rendering of the major solar system planets and their satellites* night mode (red)* GPS positioning, accelerometers control of the direction of view in the sky

Stellarium mobile Sky Map is created by two of the original developers of Stellarium, the Desktop version of this famous astronomy and planetarium stars chart app.

Best StarGazing app to Explore the Universe! Super reaction speed and high accuracy, you must try it out and see how fast it is ;)

It's the mobile planetarium in your pocket, designed for astronomy fans to explore the universe. Just hold up and point your device at the sky and StarTracker will tell you exactly what stars, constellations and deep sky objects you are looking at in realtime. Full utilization of the build-in gyroscope, digital compass and accelerometer drive the best user experience.

Night Sky Tools is the ultimate collection of astronomical tools perfect for anyone interested in astronomy.

The calculations are of a high enough accuracy for almost all amateur astronomy applications.

Due to the fact that astronomy is often best when far from civilization where mobile signal may not always be reliable. Therefore, this app is (almost) completely self-contained and does not require any internet connection for most of the information available. The only exceptions to this are the SOHO solar images and NGC/IC, Messier, Caldwell and Binary star images and weather forecast which are loaded dynamically, as well as the refreshing of satellite, comet and near-earth asteroid data.

Night mode turns the display red for night observations without having to ruin your night vision.

The Sky Map makes use of the direction sensors of the device to show the sky above (or below you). Most of the features can be toggled in the settings. The Sky Map also allows you to turn on the device's camera to see the view behind the device with the sky map superimposed over it.

The direction sensors of the device may need to be calibrated if the map appears to be pointing in the wrong direction. To calibrate the device's sensors wave the device in a figure-8 pattern. If the direction is still off, then the direction calibration can be adjusted manually by changing the setting in the Settings screen.

The observation log, allows you to save observations in the applications, as well as manage a list of astronomical equipment and observing locations. This equipment is also available for use in the Telescope Calculator.

Most of the data screens have an option to share the data via email, or other similar apps able to accept HTML content.

The Astronomical Time is also available as a Home screen widget. To use the widget, the app needs to be installed onto the internal storage instead of the SD card, otherwise it will not be available.

The Russian translation of the application is courtesy of Lirvux.

Some permissions are required for correct functioning of the app:Location - used to determine user location throughout the appCamera/Microphone - used to allow camera background in skymap. The microphone is never used but this permission is bundled with camera.Photos/Media/Files - used to allow proper functioning of the full screen images and caching of imagesNetwork access - used to do online searches, and downloading comet, asteroid and satellite data, object images and geocoding.

º Augmented Reality (AR) mode only available if your device supports it, as this feature requires a built-in compass. Manual scrolling is supported on all other devices.

WorldMap is a simple Android app that displays a map of the world taken from Wikimedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Physical_Political_World_Map.jpg), and allows the user to scroll around on it.

The map itself is quite large (6480,3888), so it's way too big to fit in memory all at once (6480 x 3888 x 32 / 8) = 100,776,960 -- over 96 megs. The VM heap size Android supports is eith 16 or 24 megs, so we can't fit the whole thing in memory at once.

So WorldMap uses the BitmapRegionDecoder API (available as of API 10) to decode just what it needs to display.

WorldMap is open source, and the source code is here: https://github.com/johnnylambada/WorldMap

SkEye is an advanced Planetarium that can also be used as a PUSHTO guide for telescopes.

Ever wondered what objects are up in the sky? Now you can get familiar with Astronomy by identifying stars, planets, and constellations. Also look up deep sky objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs.

If you have a telescope, just strap the phone onto the OTA and you get a PUSHTO guide!

A fully 3D model of the Milky Way Galaxy map - you can rotate, zoom and move the galaxy in any direction.Information about all the known arms (Far 3kpc, Near 3kpc, Norma-Outer, Orion, Perseus, Sagittarius, Scutum-Crux) and the Galactic Core is displayed when the user touches the respective structure. From the galaxy overview, you can check the local stellar neighbourhood (The Solar System, Sirius, Epsilon Eridani, Alpha Centauri, etc) by switching to the sector scene, a 10 parsec cube. Touching a star will open up an info panel containing details about the selected star. You can visit all the 72000 sectors in the database, totalling 142.278 known stars.

★ Options Menu ★

- can toggle star names on/off in the sector scene- can modify the star population (reducing results in an increase in FPS performance)- can show an FPS counter in the bottom right corner of the screen
